In Australia, management of pest animals may be complex and regulated by various state, territory and federal legislation. Each of Australia’s jurisdictions has their own legislation and strategies for managing pest animals consistent with their constitutional responsibilities.

Best practice pest animal management generally advocates the management of pest animals at a landscape scale and nil-tenure basis. This involves collaboration and cooperation between neighbours in pest management activities.Frequently, land managers form groups for pest animal management to increase their effectiveness. State and territory governments may provide support to these groups.
